M chigan Scientist Originates
Method for Increasing
Gas Efficiency.
NOT TO BE COMMERCIAL
States Blended Fuel Mixture
Suitable for Any Kind
of Weather.
(By Associated Press)
TULSA, Oklahoma, May 22-Dis-
covery of a more powerful gasoline,
a blend especially for automobiles,
was announced at the Natural Gas-
oline association's annual cOnven-1
tion today.
The mixture restores what the
motorist likes to call "the old fash-
ioned goodness" to gasoline, by
which he means quick, easy, start-
ing in cold weather. It is described
also as adding power which the
"old time" gas never had, and as
increasing the available gasoline
supply.
The blending formula is a gift
to the petroleum industry, in the'
form of bulletin 14 from the de-
partment of 'engineering research
of University of Michigan. It is
rnon-commercial, anyone who wish-
es being free to use it. The devel-
opment was sponsored by the Nat-
ural Gasoline Association of Amer-
ica, and was done under direction
of George Granger Brown, profes-
sor of chemical engineering and di-
rector of research for the associa-
tion. He presented today the final
result of work which began four
years ago.
New Methods Possible.
He said his findings enable oil
refiners to produce gasoline not on-
ly specially adapted to the modern
automobile, but particularly fitted
or all ranges of temperature en-
countered in the United States.
He restores to gasoline two in-
gredients which have been largely
removed in recent years lay the
methods of production and refining.
One of these is natural gasoline,
found in the natural gas removed
at the well mouth. It is highly vo-
latile, vaporizing so readily that it
fires easily in cold weather.
The other restored substance
which gives the added power in hot
weather is .naptha, usually remov-
ed in the refining and sold as such
or included in kerosene. Its effect
is opposite from that of natural
gasoline, retarding vaporization. It
comes into use when the engine is
hot. In that stage the acceleration
of modern engines tends to cause
completely vaporizing fuel to choke
and drag. Possibly most of the nap-
tha never Vaporizes, Prof. Brown
said. ,I
Doesn't Retard Vaporizing.
But it does not interfere with the
much desired vaporizing when
starting or running at low or medi-
um temperatures, while at high
temperatures it effectively prevents
that loss in power figuratively at-
tributed to ,some high-test gasoline.
"Such a blending product," said
Prof. Brown, "having at least 34
per cent vaporized even at low tem-
peratures and not more than 75 per
cent vaporized at high tempera-
tures, is actually far superior to the
original material which may be
completely vaporized. This state-
ment ,is contrary tp the common
impression that a fuel should be
completely vaporized to give the
best performance on modern motor I
cars.' _
TWO CARS CRASH
ON CAMPUS SITE
Two automobiles, one driven by
Mrs. Catherine Langford, 1007
Church street,a coach driven by,
George Sautter, 448 South Seventh
street, collided shortly after 2 o'-
x clock yesterday afternoon at the
corner of East and South Univer-
sity avenues. Although Sautter's
car was somewhat damaged when
it careened into a telephone pole,
tearing the top, neither of the driv-
ers were hurt. Both were alone in
their cars.
Mrs. Langford was driving south
on East University and Sautter
was headed east on South Univer-
sity. Although details of the acci-
dent'weie not clearly established, it
was thought that both drivers at-
tempted to cross the intersection
at the same time, causing Sautter's l
car to strike the southeast curbing.
Hundreds of University students
were attracted to the scene of the
accident which occurred between
1 and 2 o'clock classes.
Inspired by the spirit and gen-
eral tone of Texas State College
for Women. John Philip Sousa has
dedicated a new march. "Daughters
of Texas," to its faculty and stu-
dents.

Former History Faculty Member
Will Give Courses on
Early America.
HAS TAUGHT AT BROWN
Returning to the University after
an absence of ten years, Prof. Ver-
nor W. Crane will be a very valua-
ble addition to the department of
history.
Professor Crane, whose appoint-
ment was officially approved- at the
last meeting of the Regents, was an
instructor here from L16 to 1920.
Since then he has been a professor
in American history at Brown uni-
versity and has also twice been a
guest professor at Harvard. Dur-
ing his absence he has been able to
keep in very close touch with the
University because he has been stu-
dying some of the old journals in
the Clements library from time to
time.
Professor Crane's specialty is
American History in the 17th and
18th century and it is this that will
be the subject of most of his courg-
es.
MILLER LECTURES
AT DENTAL DINNER
Discusses Different Types of
Guns Used in World War.
Col. Henry L. Miller, professor of
mechanism and drawing in the en-
gineering college, addressed a group
of 200 last night at the banquet of
the First District Dental society in
the Michigan League Building.
The talk dealt with the engineer-
ing and military phases of the "Big
Berthas," and was illustrated with
lantern slides.
The banquet culminated the an-
nual meeting of the first district
dental society in Ann Arbor.
A hundred dentists and a hun-
dred of the dental seniorsand hy-
gienists were present at the ban-
quet.
. These annual meetings of the va-
rious dental societies in Ann Ar-
bor are regarded as an excellent
means of maintaining alumni re-
lations with the University.
